Definitions

  • the invention is set out in the independent claims 1 and 8 with preferred forms being set out in the dependent claims.
  • a gateway e.g., cable and/or DSL gateway and the like
  • calls intended for mobile devices can be routed to existing landline devices.
  • this decreases frustration by the consumer because most homes have several landline devices throughout the home. This gives the consumer more choices in where to answer the call, lessening frustrations.
  • Document US 2012/230486 discloses a system and method for automatic proximity-based call termination that determines when a mobile telephony device enters a predetermined area and proposes to redirect incoming telephone calls directed to the mobile telephony device to an alternate telephone number that can be a fixed phone.
  • Document WO 2005/041422 discloses a terminal docking station, which is capable of handling the routing of incoming calls directed to a user.
  • a routing logic determines how to route incoming calls to the user.
  • Document DE 103 29 960 discloses a system where mobile phones can use the services of both a mobile network and a fixed network in a cost effective and user-friendly way.
  • none of these documents teaches how to handle simultaneous incoming calls when routing incoming calls from mobile devices to existing landline devices, and the solutions they described are thus perfectible.
  • the techniques described herein enable a consumer and/or operator to link their mobile device(s) to their cable and/or DSL gateway's voice/landline telephone number.
  • One scenario for such a feature is when someone plugs in their mobile phone to recharge its battery. If a gateway detects a mobile device via a connection such as a wireless signal (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.), it can send a message back to the network operator's switch/server. If someone calls the mobile phone, then that call is routed to the gateway's telephone number.
  • a wireless signal e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.
  • DECT Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
  • the DECT functionality enables other features such as a network address phone book, name recognition (e.g., displaying a name of someone who is calling on a DECT handset, etc.), voice mail, etc.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a typical home topology 100 of an embodiment.
  • a gateway 102 resides in a home 104 to provide communication and/or multimedia services to a home owner.
  • the gateway 102 interfaces with devices in the home 104 such as, for example, a landline device 106 (e.g., a voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telephone set), wireless home communication devices 108 (e.g., wireless phones with a base station such as DECT phones and the like) and/or mobile devices 110 (e.g., smart phones, mobile tablets, laptops, etc.) and the like.
  • the gateway 102 provides communications by connecting to a service provider network 112 that can include cable networks, digital subscriber line (DSL) networks and fiber optic networks and the like.
  • DSL digital subscriber line
  • the service provider network 112 can then interact with a communication service provider system 114 to provide enhanced communication services to the home owner/subscriber.
  • a communication service provider system 114 can be, but is not limited by, wired and/or wireless communications and the like. This can include, but is not limited to, Internet connections, satellite connections, cable connections, fiber optic connections and/or other wireless connections such as cellular, wide area network connections, local area network connections, WiFi connections and/or Bluetooth connections and the like.
  • FIG. 2 an example of a communication system 200 that includes a gateway device 202 is illustrated.
  • the gateway device 202 in this example resides within a home 214. It 202 interfaces with landline device(s) 208 and mobile device(s) 210.
  • a webpage 212 such as a hypertext markup language (HTML) page shown on a browser can be used to interface with the gateway 202.
  • the gateway device 202 interfaces with a service provider network 204 to communicate with external sources.
  • the service provider network 204 is then linked to a communication network 206 such as a cellular provider's network and the like.
  • the gateway device 202 communicates via wired and/or wireless means to devices such as the landline device(s) 208 and the mobile device(s) 210.
  • the landline device(s) 208 are typically connected to the gateway device 202 via a wired connection.
  • the landline device(s) 208 can include landlines with a wireless base station. In this scenario, the base station is wired to the gateway device 202 but the handsets communicate wirelessly with the base station. DECT phones are an example of this type of communication system.
  • the gateway device 202 is set up to have a telephone number that is associated with a given home/gateway device. When calls are placed to this telephone number, the gateway device 202 routes the call to the landline device(s) 208. The user then communicates with the caller through the landline device(s) 208, the gateway device 202 and out through a wide area network to the caller.
  • the gateway device 202 detects the mobile device 210 and transfers calls directed at the mobile device 210 to the gateway device itself. This allows the mobile device calls to be received by the landline device(s) 208 in the home. Since a home typically has more landline device(s) 210 than mobile device(s) 210, this makes answering the call much more convenient. This is especially true when the mobile device(s) 210 is plugged into a power source for recharging.
  • the gateway device 202 In order for the gateway device 202 to transfer the calls to the mobile device(s) 210, it 202 first associates an identifier received from the mobile device(s) 210 with a telephone number associated with that particular device.
  • This identifier can be, for example, a media access control (MAC) address.
  • MAC addresses are typically unique to a given hardware device and, thus, can be used to identify a particular mobile device whether that device is a mobile phone, a laptop, a television set (some sets have communication capabilities) and/or a mobile tablet and the like.
  • MAC address Once the MAC address is obtained, an association between the MAC address and a communication access number (e.g., telephone number) is established.
  • the gateway device 202 communicates the association to the service provider network 204 and on to the communication network 206. Calls directed to the mobile device 210 are then routed to the gateway device 202. This allows the gateway device 202 to direct the mobile device call to the landline device(s) 208. Now, the user can answer mobile calls on any landline device in the home 214.
  • the phrase "in the home” includes the proximity of the home such as the immediate yard, patio, front porch, driveway and the like (most modern wireless base stations can transmit beyond the walls of the home).
  • the gateway 202 can also transmit additional information about the source of the call and the call itself. For example, a DECT phone that receives the mobile device call can be made to flash differently, ring differently (e.g., short rings, different melody, etc.) when a mobile call is received. This lets the user know that the call was originally directed to the mobile device 210 instead of the landline device 208.
  • the mobile device communication contact number can also be displayed on the landline device 208 to make the user aware of the source of the call. In a similar fashion, additional information associated with the mobile device 210 can also be shown on the landline device 208.
  • the source of this information can come from an account associated with the mobile device on a remote server (e.g., from a "cloud” server) and the like. It can also be obtained by the gateway 202 from the mobile device 210 directly. This transfer of data can be controlled by the user when the connection from the mobile device 210 is programmed into the gateway 202 via a user interface.
  • a hierarchy is typically needed for simultaneous and/or near simultaneous incoming calls.
  • One option is to allow all calls received via the gateway 202 to be transferred to the landline device(s) 208.
  • a display and/or other method can be used on the landline device(s) 208 to inform the user of multiple incoming calls. This can include, but is not limited to, a listing of the incoming calls that a caller can scroll through and select which call they would like to answer.
  • the user can also initialize the gateway 202 with a priority list of calling sources. For example, the mobile device(s) 210 can have a higher priority than the landline device(s) 208.
  • an incoming mobile device phone call can either be placed at a top of a list of incoming calls and/or it can override landline calls.
  • the mobile device call can ring through and the landline call can be sent to voicemail (e.g., a display after the call can indicate to the user that the landline call went to voicemail) and the like.
  • the user can limit the priority to certain times of the day. For example, mobile device calls received between 6pm and 10pm can have higher priority than landline calls.
  • a user might not desire to have their mobile device calls always forwarded when the mobile device 210 is within range of the gateway 202.
  • the user can set up the gateway 202 to only transfer calls for devices allowed by the user and/or to only transfer calls given a certain set of circumstances. For example, if two or more mobile device(s) 210 are within range of the gateway 202, one of the mobile device(s) 210 can be given priority over another, not only in a listing hierarchy for received calls, but also overriding when the other device has its calls transferred by the gateway 202. This allows the gateway 202 to automatically select which mobile device 210 to transfer calls from based on user input but also on other parameters such as time of day, availability of user associated with the mobile device 210 and the like.
  • user B's mobile device can be set by the gateway 210 to not transfer calls to the landline device(s) 208.
  • this can trigger the gateway 202 to not transfer calls from the mobile devices of user A and user B to the landline device(s) 208 (e.g., when a child is home, the parents will not answer their cell phones to allow more 'family time,' etc.).
  • the gateway 202 in setting up transferred/synchronization calling between the mobile device(s) 210, the landline device(s) 208 and the gateway 202.
  • the above examples are not intended to limit these possibilities in any manner.
  • the gateway 302 includes a gateway synchronizer 304, a landline interface 306, a mobile device interface 308 and an external communications interface 310.
  • the gateway 302 can also include an optional user interface 314 that allows for user input 316.
  • the gateway synchronizer 304 obtains a contact number for a mobile device 320 through the mobile device interface 308.
  • the mobile device interface 308 can include wired and/or wireless interfaces and the like.
  • the interface 308 can be made through a docking station and the like as well as wired Ethernet.
  • the most common connection is typically a WiFi connection and/or a Bluetooth connection.
  • the contact number for the mobile device is a number that is dialed to reach the mobile device. This can include, but is not limited to, seven digit and/or 10 digit numbers which is common for the United States and/or longer/shorter numbers.
  • the gateway 302 has a contact number that is used to direct communications to that particular gateway. It can also vary in length.
  • the gateway synchronizer 304 Once the gateway synchronizer 304 has identified the mobile device 320 and determined its contact number (e.g., through user input, directly from a mobile device, from a mobile device's ESN, etc.), it 304 synchronizes the mobile device contact number with the gateway contact number. This can be accomplished, for example, by relaying the mobile contact number and the gateway contact number via the external communications interface 310 to an external systems/network 312 like a communications network service provider. A request can be made of the communications network service provider to transfer calls for a particular ESN, a particular subscriber, and/or a particular mobile device contact number to the gateway contact number. A MAC address can also be used if the communications network service provider tracks that information for their subscribers. Thus, the gateway synchronizer 304 has many means of identifying the mobile device to the communications network service provider.
  • the gateway synchronizer 304 can control how, when and where the mobile device calls are directed to the landline device(s) 318. Many of these options are discussed in further detail herein. Additionally, the gateway synchronizer 304 can also obtain contact list information (e.g., phone numbers, addresses, names, etc.) that are associated with the mobile device 320. This information can come directly from the mobile device 320 and/or from a remote server used by the mobile device to store such information.
  • contact list information e.g., phone numbers, addresses, names, etc.
  • FIG. 4 is an example 400 of a communication device setup webpage 402 from a browser that has accessed a gateway.
  • a gateway will typically have an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with it. By typing that address into a browser, the gateway can be controlled through webpages generated by the gateway.
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • a communication device setup with gateway webpage 402 has been accessed.
  • This example 400 shows different options that can be set by a user to control the call transfer/synchronization between a mobile device and a gateway.
  • box 404 allows the gateway to show what devices have been connected to the gateway. The user then has options regarding that connection.
  • MAC addresses 412 are used to uniquely identify each connected piece of hardware.
  • the gateway can then inquire as to the device's communication number 414 and retrieve it automatically and/or if such is not a feature of the mobile device, a user can manually enter the number into the table. The user can then make the decision as to whether or not they want to associate 416 the mobile device number with a gateway number 418.
  • the gateway can have more than one number (e.g., main number, roommate ring number, fax number, etc.) so the user can enter the desired gateway number and/or the gateway can automatically select a default gateway number.
  • the user can also select a time period 420 for when they want the transfer/synchronization to occur.
  • the mobile device can also be given a priority level 422 by the user and/or automatically by the gateway.
  • a user can be given call answer options 424.
  • the user has selected to send lower priority device calls to voicemail when a call conflict occurs.
  • Conflicts in this scenario typically include timing of incoming call issues, call already taken issues, and/or calls blocked/silenced issues and the like.
  • a user could have chosen to drop (not answer) calls and/or to move higher calls to the top of an incoming call list (e.g., "A" priority calls move to the top of the incoming call list, etc. rather than exactly the order the calls were received in).
  • a user has options pertaining to contact information from mobile devices.
  • the user has selected to have contact information automatically transferred when a mobile device connects to the gateway and also to have the gateway seek contact information associated with the mobile device from a cloud source (e.g., a remote server that stores information for the mobile device).
  • a cloud source e.g., a remote server that stores information for the mobile device.
  • the user has also selected to have the gateway automatically transfer the information to landline devices. This will enable the user to refer to the contact information from any phone in the home or from selected phones.
  • a user is given options for the webpage itself 428.
  • the user has selected to always be given a prompt when new mobile devices are discovered by the gateway.
  • the user has, however, declined to have the initial setup page show advanced options (e.g., additional options not shown in example 400).
  • the user did select to password protect incoming calls from a mobile device. This allows the user to require a quick code (e.g., a series of numbers like 1-2-3-4) to be entered before the all can be answered.
  • a quick code e.g., a series of numbers like 1-2-3-4
  • FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of a method 500 of synchronizing a mobile device contact number with a gateway.
  • the method 500 starts with a gateway identifying a mobile device 502.
  • the identification can be accomplished through a wireless means such as, for example, Bluetooth and/or WiFi and the like and/or through a wired means such as, for example, an Ethernet connection and/or a docking station connection and the like.
  • the gateway can either interrogate the mobile device for identification and/or it can obtain its MAC address to use in identifying the mobile device.
  • Other identifications can be utilized as well - like obtaining a cell phone's electronic serial number (ESN).
  • ESN electronic serial number
  • the ESN can be used by a gateway to obtain the telephone number associated with that mobile device from a communication network service provider.
  • a communication number associated with the mobile device is then determined 504. This can include, but is not limited to, a user manually entering the communication number and/or the gateway automatically obtaining the communication number directly from the mobile device, from a communication network service provider and/or from some other source such as a lookup table that is locally and/or remotely stored.
  • the gateway then associates its communication number with the mobile device communication number 506. This can be a default number used by the gateway that is paired with the mobile device number. It can also be associated with a gateway number by a user. Once, the association is completed, the gateway notifies a communication network related to the mobile device to route calls to the mobile device to the gateway communication number 508. When the communication network receives a subsequent call for the mobile device, it will then be routed to the gateway 510. The gateway can then select to immediately route the call to a landline device associated with the gateway and/or delay the incoming calls and the like. The gateway can also access user selected options to determine how to handle the incoming calls for the mobile device. Examples of the different options have been disclosed above.
